my number 1 and 2 favorite movies are Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory (the original version) and Young Frankenstein (Frank en sht een) and they inter change in order too. Young Frankenstein is still so funny every time i watch it. My hubs and i still say at certain times "Put ze candle back" and when something is super fabulous, i may sing, not as well as Madeline Khan, "sweet mysteries of life i have found you" or the hump on Marty Feldman moving or Abby Normal.
Grandpa Joe was my dad eventually and Charlie was the sweetest kindest angel. And when Veruca Salt became a bad egg, i couldnt believe they removed her so quickly, she was brilliant! tho i never understood the boat trip that got crazy it still was such a magical movie for a 10 yr old to see on the big screen, oh the place where all could be eaten!
Thank you so much Mr. Wilder, for the joys and the laughs. I imagine your riding in one of those magical helicopter glass ceiling smashing things up in a wonderous place in heaven.
"Young Frankenstein" truly a classic!! We laugh every time we see it. The whole cast was brilliant. They don't make 'em like that anymore. Gene is now with Gilda. ♥
